"We got two marine expeditionary units sailing to this island [Kharg]. [...] We did Iwo Jima, we can do this." How cheap life is when it’s someone else’s sons and daughters dying.

Capital should never be allowed to surpass the state. The US is prime example of what happens when capital takes the reins. It went from a dynamic nation to a land of usury and scams, from an industrial economy to turbo Fake Nigga Economy. The PRC was right for disciplining Jack Ma. His arrogance was getting out of hand, not to mention Alibaba/Alipay saw massive success in part due to support from the state. Now that everyone and their mothers know about Israel's evil and ambitions, the fact that Ma went to kiss the wall further vindicates the decision to spank him.

Cornell professor Lowi argued that the American Republic died around the 1970s and transitioned into the 2nd Republic, where it is now run by interest groups (does AIPAC sound familiar, anyone)? In other words, capital gets to decide the country's goals and interest. If you can accept this premise then all of America's behavior makes sense.

At Aspen, Economist editor-in-chief Zanny Minton Beddoes laid out her vision for ‘the day after’: “Israeli security first and foremost,” followed by “some kind of autonomy” for Palestinians. But she made clear she shouldn’t be mistaken for someone calling for an equal Palestinian state. And said it should not be run by the PA but by a “less corrupt, more effective” body that manages “some form of self-government.”

At the Aspen Ideas Festival, CNN host @FareedZakaria lavished praise on Israeli Prime Minister Netanyahu: “Look, I’ve had my disagreements with him, but he has handled this remarkably well… he’s handled this extraordinarily well.” Grinning as he spoke, Zakaria gushed over a leader indicted by the ICC—whose genocidal campaign in Gaza has left hundreds of thousands of Palestinians dead, wounded, or starving under siege. In Lebanon, thousands were killed, injured, or displaced as a result of a brutal Israeli assault that razed entire villages and targeted hospitals and ambulances.

FOX News is so utterly desperate they brought an actor on live TV to claim Iran killed 40,000 people in just 2 days. He literally says Iranians are "waiting for America's orders and Israel" to protest. The propaganda is reaching levels of absolute parody.

@imetatronink @PrioFrank @NeverGetMonged All, the tacticals I know of are gun-type and require U-235. I know Israel has a breeder reactor for Pu at Dimona, but do they even have a gaseous diffusion or centrifuge facility for U-235? I can't find one.

@PrioFrank @NeverGetMonged There is no reason whatsoever to believe Israel possesses "tactical" nuclear weapons. And I assess near-zero possibility Israel would nuke Iran. Resorting to nuclear weapons is a "point-of-no-return" decision. It's a murder-suicide move.

📜 Stealth Bombers and Bunker Busters A retrospective analysis of the so-called 12-Day War, and the triumphantly celebrated Operation Midnight Hammer. The GBU-57 is a big fat gravity bomb with fins. To achieve effective precision, a B-2 bomber must drop it on its intended target from no further than about five nautical miles — essentially right on top of the target. Its penetration depth is claimed to be 200 feet. But that capability has NEVER been tested against a seriously hardened deep-underground target encased in layers of high-performance concrete, and topped with a few dozen meters of solid rock. In that sort of real-world scenario, the GBU-57 would be lucky to drill down 50 feet, if that. It was always ridiculous silly talk to suggest the GBU-57 was the wonder weapon it was made out to be. There is a good reason the US only produced a couple dozen of them and then stopped: they understood its acute limitations in a non-permissive combat environment. And, notwithstanding the hyperbolic Israeli propaganda, there was never any credible evidence that Iranian medium- and long-range air defenses against fixed-wing aircraft were attrited to any significant degree. And Iranian short-range air defenses were increasingly effective against long-range Israeli drones with each passing day. As for the B-2: it is a big fat subsonic aircraft. It flies at airliner speeds. A strike on Fordow would entail flying at least 500 miles in and out of Iran. It is nonsense that the B-2 is effectively invisible. It can be tracked from long distances, and targeted sufficiently well that missiles with effective terminal guidance (thermal / optical) can kill it. The Iranians established during the October 26, 2024 Israeli counterstrike that they could paint F-35s with their radars. That is why the Israelis launched nothing but long-range stand-off munitions: aero-ballistic and cruise missiles – of which they have a very limited stockpile. The same conditions prevailed during the 12-Day War. And just as the Israelis were unwilling to risk getting fighters shot down over Iran, neither was the USAF willing to risk getting a B-2 shot down over Iran. Maybe a few B-2s launched some JASSMs from over Iraq or the Caspian Sea. Maybe nothing but sub-launched Tomahawks hit Iranian targets. But it certainly wasn’t GBU-57 “Bunker Buster” bombs dropped by a half-dozen B-2s casually flying in Iranian airspace for an hour. And whatever was dropped inflicted no meaningful damage. Fordow was scratched at best. A bunch of surface structures at Natanz were blown up. Trump’s claim that Iran’s nuclear program was destroyed is absurd nonsense. No one with even a modest understanding of these things believes that. The Israelis certainly don’t believe it, and they have admitted as much. It IS true that, in retaliation, the Iranians precisely targeted and convincingly destroyed a significant communications complex at the American Al Udeid airbase in Qatar. The fictionalized B-2 “Bunker Buster” strike on Fordow, and the token Iranian ballistic missile strike on Al Udeid were orchestrated events designed to grease the tracks of a ceasefire that was proposed by the Americans and agreed to by the Iranians. The Americans and Israelis had expended almost their entire inventories of ballistic missile interceptors over the course of a week and a half, and Iranian missiles were raining down with effective impunity the last few days. The Iranians knew damn well they had already achieved a strategic victory, despite their shaky start. I’m also convinced the Russians and Chinese encouraged Iran to accept the ceasefire proposal. It allowed both sides to claim a PR victory, lick their wounds, and prepare for the next round. Meanwhile, the Iranians have more production capability than do their US/Israeli counterparts. And it also appears the Iranians are much more amenable to Russian and Chinese assistance now than they may have been previously. When this war resumes, the Iranians will be comparatively stronger than they were before. And the risks for the US/Israel will be significantly heightened.

@AcademicAgent_X Is it? My impression is that most of the damage is to the gulf, and Israel is not really threatened... yet. But Patriot missiles, THAAAD, and other interception systems may run out.
